    Are you just trolling? The client initiates the requests, not the ad server. Might want to brush up on those IP protocols.

      The client initiates the requests, not the ad server.

      And then the server feeds data to the client with AJAX calls and similar functions to fetch additional material.

      And ad blockers try to distinguish between secondary calls gathering real content and calls that are just serving ads (YouTube ad blocking being the epitome of this challenge).

      But I’m sure you’re a smart, sophisticated computer guy who doesn’t need to play dumb on this.

        I’m glad we’re on the same page now 👍

        Except you’re still wrong, a server cannot make an AJAX call to a client. The client has to make it. You keep incorrectly trying to frame it like the server initiates these connections, instead of just admitting you didn’t know what you were talking about.

          I never said it did.

          The server feeds the HTML/JavaScript/etc which contains AJAX calls that automatically launch
